He really looks like Buzz Lightyear.
-
Title should say “British bulldog jr”. Got confused and thought that this was actually the original British bulldog.
-
This guy came back from the dead to talk about another guy's death.
-
Harry's a smart guy, Bulldog would be proud.
-
The hart family knew him well and know what is personality was like. In dark side of the ring it mentioned a restraining order against him but no reason why. A history of domestic violence often turns deadly. There is nothing ok with domestic violence because it causes irreparable harm. That was an honest and candid interview.

He's got Davey's face but the Hart's eyes.
-
He’s wearing The Kazushi Sakuraba rashgaurd... a man of taste.
-
This the most honest and candid interview. Thank you, British Bulldog
-
It would've been even more fucked up if he showed up at the ppv with his family decomposing in his house.
-
If he had braided hair like his dad, he'd be the absolute spit of him
-
he looks so much like his dad
-
When I took steroids in 91 and I ran out it was the worst depression I've ever experienced.
-
I really really want a drink of water now

Sick Sakuraba rashguard! I can't believe how much his son looks like him. I got to meet Davey with Bret, Owen and Jim Neidhart when I was a kid outside a 7-11 in 1991. I was only 7, but it was a memory that will stay with me forever.
-
Davey Boy Smith Jr seem to be an awesome and humble guy!
-
To be honest the title confused me when I first saw it.

Here's my take on Benoit: He gets forgiven easily, because he was loved by fans. Wrestling fans forgive anything, sadly. Benoit had a history of domestic incidents with Nancy. They fought constantly. Like most domestic murders, it was another fight that went a step to far. Benoit never meant to kill his wife, but when he did he lost it. He felt extreme guilt, and obviously wouldn't want to face the consequences. Hence why he killed his son, then himself. Did he have CTE, yes. But, you can't discount the history of problems he and Nancy were having. They got physical before, she had to stay at friends' houses before because they were fighting, and the day the murder occurred, Benoit told Bob Holly, "She's acting like Hitler again..." It was not a healthy marriage. His brain damage can't be held 100% responsible. There is no way he could navigate a WWE travel schedule, appearances, motel/car rentals, and operate as one of the best wrestlers on the planet if he had the brain of an 80 years old, Alzheimer patient. I think it was typical case of domestic violence that escalated out of control and ended the worst way. Which should be talked about more, to spread awareness of the problem.
